Chapter 36 Office Romance

• Until I got a message from an unknown number, with a picture of the cutest, curviest little thing I’ve ever laid eyes on, poured into a silky silver dress and asking for reassurance that she looked alright.
• In the picture, she looked shy, but all I could think about was what was underneath that dress. Then, my phone suggested I add her contact, pulling the name from my email apparently. It read,Add Contact-Candace Bennett?And it suddenly occurred to me why she was familiar. I had interviewed Ms. Bennett months ago, and while she had nearly glowed through the computer screen, young and ambitious, I had forgotten about her until she texted me by accident.
